Och! Isaac, my heart goes out to you. I found a new way to (attempt) to go
tubeless with my Hunqapillar: my drive-side chain stay broke in a way
neither Grant nor Mark N. has ever seen before (figures: I get that a
lot.). I still need to clear the parts from the frame and clean it so they
can
Bantam seems a good choice, but in Portland, I can also highly recommend
Dave at Ti Cycles for repairs.

All of these failures are unfortunate.
There is something about the QB though. Anyone have a 54 hanging around that
needs a home? BB intact please! :)
I keep trying to build up a single speed with 650bx48 road tires and similar
sized tiny knobs. It keeps getting pushed to the back of the build
I remember in a Reader a story about a QB frame that had some kinda bulge in
the seattube (and a furious buyer to show for it). I guess Panasonic wasn't a
fabulous source for Riv...

The photos of the green bike frame indicate poorly made brazed joints. The
brazing filler did not full penetrate the bottom bracket shell.

Hi Kai,
I'm confused why a cracked bb shell on a qb would be a goner? Did they go away
from lugs in models I havent seen? Seems like a pretty simple lugged fix if one
could get a replacement bb lug.
The qb is a decent quality frame isnt it? Seems worth the investment. (unless

I know you loved that bike. I hope another 68 turns up soon.

Thanks, Ryan. Hopefully the lister will see the post, but feel free to put them
in touch! Also, please put me on the waitlist for the Bomba if you decide to
let it go and that deal falls through!

I’m no expert, but the experts that have seen the break said it was likely a
combination of poor mitering of the seat tube and lots of mashing on a single
speed by a big guy on a tall frame. For whatever reasons, it’s a relatively
common failure point in the Quickbeams. I’ll post photos in a

There is a Riv lister contemplating selling a rare 66cm QB. He feels his is to
small and checked with me about my 68cm. I sidetracked him with the
possibility of my 64cm Bombadil once I get my Gus!
Makes me nervous about my 68cm Quickbeam. Probably my least replaceable bike
A Panasonic defect? I'm surprised to hear that so many of the big QBs have
cracked.

Sorry for your loss, but it's a goner, I've got two 68s in the same state. The
fork is a great start on a replacement if you're feeling crafty. Did it crack
front to back? Would love to see some grisly pictures.

Thanks, Julian. I hadn’t thought to see if Riv has an extra BB shell. I’ll look
into that!

Isaac,
That is indeed a major bummer. If you do not find another you might call
Riv and see if the BB shells are available and send it off to a frame
builder (a fair number of them in Portland) and have it fixed. Although
not a cheap repair it will almost certainly be less than a
